The short form valuation fee scale for standard buy to let properties up to £1m including HMOs up to and including 5 rooms  is available here.  For HMOs of 6 beds or more and all MUFBs, our valuation team will obtain specific valuation fee quotes. This normally takes 24 hours but may take up to 3 days.  

To protect the customer from losing their valuation payment, our standard process is to instruct the valuation only after the Underwriter has approved the documents received. Valuation fees are only refundable until the valuer is instructed.  

It is possible to request that a valuation be instructed before all documents are approved; we will ask via the portal for your authority to instruct the valuation accepting the risk that the fee cannot be refunded if the case is subsequently declined.
